mm/dax: dump start address in fault handler
Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds", v5. Dax supports pud pages for a while, but mprotect on puds was missing since the start. This series tries to fix that by providing pud handling in mprotect(). The goal is to add more types of pud mappings like hugetlb or pfnmaps. This series paves way for it by fixing known pud entries. Considering nobody reported this until when I looked at those other types of pud mappings, I am thinking maybe it doesn't need to be a fix for stable and this may not need to be backported. I would guess whoever cares about mprotect() won't care 1G dax puds yet, vice versa. I hope fixing that in new kernels would be fine, but I'm open to suggestions. There're a few small things changed to teach mprotect work on PUDs. E.g. it will need to start with dropping NUMA_HUGE_PTE_UPDATES which may stop making sense when there can be more than one type of huge pte. OTOH, we'll also need to push the mmu notifiers from pmd to pud layers, which might need some attention but so far I think it's safe. For such details, please refer to each patch's commit message. The mprotect() pud process should be straightforward, as I kept it as simple as possible. There's no NUMA handled as dax simply doesn't support that. There's also no userfault involvements as file memory (even if work with userfault-wp async mode) will need to split a pud, so pud entry doesn't need to yet know userfault's existance (but hugetlb entries will; that's also for later). This patch (of 7): Currently the dax fault handler dumps the vma range when dynamic debugging enabled. That's mostly not useful. Dump the (aligned) address instead with the order info.
